Bp5-6aFROM THE METROPOLIS.The Map of the Great Metropolis aGreat Patch-work The Miseriesof a Million General ObservationsMcCormick, Crook, etc., etc.New York, April 27. Any onewho looks about and thinks for himself in this motley world, cannot domuch Avith New York in one or twonewspaper letters. I have been nosing about this place every day andnight for eight weeks, now, in addition to several visits in years past, andthe more I come to know this metropolitan monstrosity, the better I likeit and the more thoroughly I hate it.Its lights and shadows are the veryextremes of an orthodox hell and aMohammedan heaven. To live heroas I would like to would require acompetence of half a million.Governor McCormick was here lastweek, and after a two days' andnights' run together in and about thisaccursed hive of humanity, we agreedthat no language could do justice tolife in New York. He thinks he hasdiscovered the grand line of demarkation between wealth and mediocrityin this world specially in this worldof New York. Those who have toride in omnibuses and street cars, areanions: the damned: those who can afford a conveyance of their own, however plain, are above the commonherd and happy. He considers thoveriest Arab of the American desert aoerson to be envied in comparison tothe half million of well-dressed clerks,etc., struggling for better things inthis mighty assemblage. Althoughborn and raised here, he hates thoplace next to myself. 1 allow no delegate or devil to outswear me or saymore hateful things. In regard toopening up streets parallel to Broadway, and clear down to the Battery,he says he would want the power ofex-Emperor Napoleon, (the Third,)whose declaration was law. I shouldwant to be the First Napoleon herefor about a year; the first wideningof streets in southern New Yorkwould be by tho direct use of grapeshot and canister. If I could havoAlmighty power for fifteen minutes,I would sink all south of Canal streetand start things anew.Speaking of McCormick, he thinksof a two months' tour to the ViennaExposition, some time after the meeting of the Centennial Commissionersearly next month at Philadelphia.He thinks he could as well if not better servo Arizona that way than byreturning to the Territory this summer ; and it would seem like a moresensible move to any reasonable mortal. He will not decide until themeeting in question. General Crookand Cachise ought to be able to takecare of the Territory one summer,now that they have niadb such headway toward peace the one great aimof all good Arizonans. It is a sourceof great satisfaction to all those whoassisted in placing Crook in commandof Arizona, to see him as the rightman in the right place. I met Indian Commissioner Smith the othernight, and he expressed himself quitecontent with the military triumphs inArizona. All that is necessary nowto complete happiness all round, isthe placing of the star on Gen. Crook'sshoulder, that he had eminentlyearned five years ago. I was goingto say something about his three daysand nights fight in the " lava beds "of northern. California in September,1867, with about 75 men, in comparison to the three months battle upthere yet going on with nearly athousand men, with artillery thrownin ; but comparisons are odious. Letus have peace.The map of New York has beencompared to a fan, but that is toothin. Cut your hand off back of thewrist-joint, and spread out the fingersand thumb more or less, and you geta better idea of it. (If you don'twant to cut your hand off as suggested, you can go to the devil.) Thensurround your hand with water (another startling suggestion for some ofyou, perhaps) and you have a 'goodenough idea of Manhattan Island,alias New York city. In reading upyesterday, I found that the wordManhattan is Indian for "a placewhere all got drunk as was thecase when old Henry Hudson landedand made the usual sort of treatywith the natives; that is, gobbledeverything. All he asked for, as thehistory tells me, was for land enoughon wmcn to sireum. a uuumThe untutored savage, jolly withwhisky, acceded to the request, whereupon the wily gentleman from Holland proceeded to put tho raw-hide" where it would do the most good,as Oakes Ames would say. Ho cut itinto one Jong string and stretched itclear round tho island ! The lnan3considered it too good a joko to fightabout then; but soon found out thatit was too late. Besides much of theisland was swamp instead of lavabed . "Wall Etreet got its name from awall thrown across the island as a defence against the reaction of thatoriginal old drunk. I have foundlife to be only one long struggle tokeep from getting drunk at best, butI never could understand till readinghistory yesterday, what deep-seatedinfluence existed here to make it agreater struggle to keep from gettingsober.But to return to tho map. Thewrist and hand up to tho fingers, represent the old solid "down town"portion of the city the wrist part thefar down portion. The fingers willserve to show the newer plan, or avonuo system. The great crowd dropdown into the narrowest portion everyday like so many cats in a sackcrawling and scratching about as bestthey can. Captain. Jack of the Modoc marines has a paradiso of it wherehe is, compared to this. I don't blamohim for killing Canby & Co., ratherthan come into the height of civilization. I would kill Christ and hangmyself a la Judas, before submittingto this sort of life eight weeks more.I started out this morning to look forChrist, thinking to find hira at Gracechurch the most fashionable gospelshop in the city ; it is happily locatedalong side of A. T. Stewart's up-towndry goods palace. There are two peculiar land-marks in this line herewealthy old Trinty church facing"Wall 6treet, and Grace church as inquestion. Their respective steeplesstand out in tho street as it were ateither end of Broadway, over twomiles apart. After church, I walkedleisurely over the south side of thecity, where I saw a larger field formissionary work than if all the savages in the land were huddled on thesame ground. I came to the conclusion that instead of finding Christ, Ihad struck hell rich with tho "bedrock pitching," and that it would require all the capital here to " place "this mine in the market of the NewJerusalem. I iust came back to myroom and took an immense drink ofold Cutter whisky out of an originalpackage " hence these tears."You can never make a silk purseout of a mouse's ear, and two centuries more on top of the American metropolis, will not see it a sightly andwell regulated city, however muchthere may be of interest in it othorst think of that old Dutchchurch of a post-office ! now used fortho latter purpose in the most narrow contracted part of the city, fornearly a century. Lord, how 1 wouldlike to widen .Nassau street witn abattery of the very biggest guns.Tho masses are as helpless in thehands of the thieving, selfish powersthat be, first and last, as so manychildren. Every measure for thogood of the city, advocated either atthe State or .National capital, isstaved off by the conflicting ringsfrom year to year decade to century,and so it will go on indefinitely. Theselfish Stewart says he will fight tillthe last an under-ground quick transit railroad. The wharf system is astench, and shipping doubly expen-ci-vaTbo nitv ia comnletelv surrounded by the dregs of civilizationthe worst of the world's commune ;and if so disposed this element couldcrowd over into Broadway and FifthAvenue and literally gut tho wealthyand fashionable part of the city before assistance could be mustered.The ono great work the city can boastof is Central Park, and Boss Tweedtho Prince of Thieves gave it thefinishing touches in course of time.Give the devil his due. But I mustgo and " see a man," W.Judging from the scenes furnishedby illustrated papers, there musthave been several hundred "specialartists " lying around loose upon therocks, waiting to sketch Captain Jackof the horse marines.We were told an anecdole by Chas,Nordhoff, tho celebrated writer, ofhimself, which carries with it so gooda moral lesson that wo propose to tellit at the risk of making public a storythat was only intended for our ears.Nordhoff and Du Chaillu. the notedAfrican explorer, were fast friends ofmanv vears standing : there was muchj j ain the early history of each to bindone to the other ; both nad traveledand seen much of the world; bothwere observing and by their gracefulpens had made a name and wereknown the civilized world over ; onehad penetrated far into the unexploredwilds of Africa, and had returned andreported a vast fund of informationof men, insects, reptiles and animals,lwfhm but little known. The twowere in the habit of correspondingfrequently with, eacn otner, ana anattachment had grown up almostakin to brothers. Thus matters stoodwhen one day an acquaintance ofNordhofPs, some what celebrated fora carrier of news, stepped into his office in New York and said: "Mr.Nordhoff I understand that you are aparticular friend of Mr. Du Chaillu."Nordhoff assured him that such wasthe case. Now says our news carrier,"It is always a painful duty for moto say aught about any one, and particularly when it is liable to breakup friendly relations heretofore existing, and 1 assure you Mr. Nordhoffthat it is only on account of my deepattachment for you that I am now ledfrom my well-settled policy to not sayill of any one, but I "believe that youshould know the truth, and I ampairied when I have to announce toyou that Du Chaillu is no friend ofyours, in fact, that he is positivelyyour enemy." Can this be possible,responded Nordhoff, and what knowledge have you to cause you to arriveat such a conclusion ? " The best inthe world sir, I have it from DuChaillu's own lips. I heard him speakof you in the most disrespectful manner, ho belittled your writings andsaid that you were only a penny-a-liner."Is it true that Du Chaillu saidsuch things of me, and did you hearit with your own ears ? " Most assuredly I did, and he even went further and said more." "Well that isenough, replied Nordhoff, it is unpleasant for mo to hear, but everyword he has said is true, because noman knows mo better than Du Chaillu,and in his judgment I have implicitconfidence, therefore whatever lie saysabout me I most cordially endorse.The next steamer that came fromLiverpool brough the watch Du Chaillu had carried and used in making observations in all his African travels,inscribed on the inside of it to hisesteemed Charles Nordhoff. The mis-nhifif-makerfailed in his effort becausehe found a man too great and too trueto be driven or coaxed from one hehad long known and tionfided in.What, a world of bitter enmity wouldbe saved if every one would followtho example ot Uharles JNoraiiortwhen such meddlesome- creatures,either for mischief or hellish purposes,attempted to estrango friends.The Superintendent of publicschools for Yuma county reports thatfree schools are open at Yuma andEhrenberg, and that tho pupils aremaking excellent progress. At Cerbatin Mohave county a school is openand doing well. A school house is inprocess of construction at Prescott anda teacher is soon expected from California to open the school. In Maricopa county two schools are open.School marshals have been appointedin every district of the Territory andthey are now: engaged in taking thocensus. A thorough and completenrp-anization of the school svstem isbeing perfected and it is expected thaton tho hrst Atonday or next uctooerthat a free school will be orjened inevery school district of the Territoryj j c ; r lx.ana conunueu iur muu mumus vl luoyear.

Attorney not having anymore testimony to ndduce, by leave of thocourt, entered a nolle prosequi in each casoand so they were all discharged. Harvesting occupies tho greater amount of attention at present. Some have been cutting for more than a week, and many willcommenco this week. I have heard of butono who has commenced threshing. Thograin is likely to turn out an average crop,at least. Education still claims somo attention. The public school at tho me3quite is running, and the sabbath school inPhenix continues to be an attractive place.The weather begins to grow warm, not excessively hot. Indeed it ia much coolernow than at this time last year. Treesaro being planted out extensively. Vegetation is becoming moro abundant, andwater is being more widely spread overtho land, which may account for tho difference in climate.
